{We open on a rooftop where Roxi and Keira sit, Keira finally back in action after her suspension. Keira leans over Roxi’s shoulder, smiling the whole time.}
Roxi – I take it your excited to be back?
Keira – Of course! I just hope we have some action tonight!
Roxi – Action?
Keira – I mean… other than the other action…
Roxi – You are such a pervert.
Keira – What can I say, I missed working with you!
Roxi – I missed you too, but now we need to focus.
Keira – But there’s nothing going on tonight.
Roxi – And that’s a good thing.
Keira – But I really wish something would happen.
{As if on cue, there is an alarm in the distance… Roxi turns to Keira}
Roxi – Looks like you’re getting your wish.
Keira – Yah! This is going to be so exciting!
Roxi – Just keep it together.
Keira – You can count on me!
{After Keira gives her a mock salute, Roxi checks her wrist communicator.}
Roxi – Vision, what are we looking at?
Vision – Bank alarm. 2nd National Bank.
Roxi – We’re on it.
{Roxi turns back to Keira.}
Roxi – Alright, you ready to go?
Keira – Race you there!
Roxi – You… can practically fly. That is not fair at all!
Keira – Fine, no flying.
Roxi – Then, you’re on!
Keira – Okay, on the count of 3….
Roxi – Okay…
Keira – 1….23!
{Keira gets a head start, catching Roxi by surprise. Roxi chases after her, and they both giggle as they run, leaping across rooftops to get to their destination. The alarm grows in volume as the they get closer, stopping a building away.}
Keira – So, we rush in right?
Roxi – Normally, I would say yes, but just… makes sure no one uses the back way.
Keira – Kinky.
Roxi – Must your turn everything into a sexual joke?
Keira – You said it, not me!
{Keira gives Roxi a slap on the butt before she heads towards the rear of the building. Roxi survey’s the area and jumps down as two henchmen are watching the door.}
Roxi – Okay guys, pop quiz, what kind of morons watch a door with the alarm blaring in full view of everyone. You’re not even wearing ski masks! That camera right there can see your faces! Get with it gentlemen! A little pride in your work! Please!
{The two henchmen, fuming with anger, charge Roxi as she dodges, dips, ducks, dives, and… dodges some more out of the way. Reaching into her belt pouch, she produces a flash grenade, and tosses it on the ground, blinding the two henchmen, and she takes advantage and quickly takes them out with little problem.}
Roxi – The answer of course, was you! Now, what kind of nut breaks into a bank over the weekend?
{Before Roxi can open the door, several armed men charge towards the door. Roxi side steps out of sight as one small man pushes the door open.}
Roxi – Louie?
{Louie, the small time hood from Roxis past, exits with a confident look on his face, until he turns to find Roxi standing behind him, tapping her foot and her arms folded.}
Louie – You!
Roxi – Yes, me. Seriously Louie? I thought we agreed that you were going to be good?
Louie – Time are tough, what can I say?
Roxi – Robbing a bank? You’re a cliché Louie. And not even a good one.
Louie – What do you know! I’m a big shot! I run this town!
Roxi – Louie…. Come now, you cannot be serious.
Louie – Shut up!
Roxi – And now, insults. I’m hurt. I really am.
Louie – I’ve heard enough!
Roxi – So… is this where you send your boys in, and then you try to steal that money laying over there.
Louie – Shut up!
Roxi – Well, that sounds like a great plan. That just looks like a lot of money to steal. There’s just one problem with that plan.
Louie – Which is?
Roxi – You might want to look behind you…
Louie – What?
{Louie turns and sees Keira as she drops the two beaten henchmen that were holding the money. Louie’s heart sinks as Keira smirks at him.}
Keira – Do these boys belong to you? You should keep them on a leash.
Louie - *Sigh*
Roxi – Come on Louie, we’re going to have another little chat.
Louie - … Why me?!
{Roxi grabs Louie by the collar and leads him away, as the police sirens get closer to where they are. We get a time lapse and by the time the police arrive, Louie is tied up and Keira and Roxi are long gone. We flash to a rooftop in the distance, watching the proceedings.}
Keira – That was fun!
Roxi – Well done out there Keira.
Keira – That was our first real success as partners! It felt so good to fight with you.
Roxi – You did a great job out there tonight. I’m surprised Louie was the one behind a bank robbery.
Keira – Old friend of yours?
Roxi – Louie and I are star crossed lovers. I think I’m wearing him down. Soon he’ll be proposing to me.
Keira – You two do look like you’d make a great couple.
Roxi – I know right!
Keira – Well, not as good as us as a couple.
Roxi – Well, no.
Keira – It’s why I love you.
Roxi – I love you too.
Keira – Now, I hope this helped.
Roxi – Helped what?
Keira – That I can be trusted when we have the battle with that imposter….
Roxi – Keira… I don’t know about all that. For what may lay ahead, I’m just not sure.
Keira – Roxi! Please! I want to help you!
Roxi – And I don’t want to lose you. We’ll cross that road… when we come to it, okay!
Keira – Okay, but this conversation is not over!
Roxi – Fair enough.
Keira – Now, let’s see what else we can get into tonight!
Roxi – Wait for me!
{Keira takes off, with Roxi in hot pursuit.}
<HR>
{The next day, Keira and Roxi sit at the dining room table, Roxi with a lot of event fliers on the table.}
Keira – What’s all this?
Roxi – It’s all the stuff for our tour.
Keira – Team Hero?
Roxi – Yeah.
Keira – Where do we start?
Roxi – Next week. In California. There’s some comic conventions we can go to!
Keira – Whoa, that’s cool.
Roxi – I know, you wanted to go out and meet all our friends, so, this is our opportunity!
Keira – Well, I guess we’ll have the time. A lot of free time coming soon.
Roxi – So, let’s make this work.
Keira – I mean, ever since they moved the 4CW stuff to Wednesdays, and you have another week before your SCW match, a lot of time has opened up.
Roxi – Yeah, but I’m still annoyed at this SCW match.
Keira – Why?
Roxi – Because I’m not facing a mean girl.
Keira – Didn’t you guys just have a 6-man match?
Roxi – Its unfinished business Keira. They need to be stopped.
Keira – Okay, you’re getting way too angry about this. Just let it go.
Roxi – … You’re right. I’m letting them get to me. It’s just I want to just beat them all, and ruin the group, and now, I’m sitting here with a match against Trishelle Jordan, and she’s not a mean girl. It seems this match is just to keep me busy while they have all the title matches!
Keira – Roxi!
Roxi – I… I’m sorry.
Keira – So, where else are we going?
Roxi – Ventura, Long Beach, some stops in New York.
Keira – But we’ll be in New York this Wednesday…
Roxi – Just so I can go for the 4CW title. But we’ll back there later.
Keira – I still want to sight-see New York.
Roxi – We can. We’ll have time.
Keira – But who’s going to… you know, watch over the place?
Roxi – Warp and Force volunteered again.
Keira – Well, that’s good. Now I can keep my eye on you.
Roxi – Keira, it’s not that serious.
Keira – I think I know better. I’m not letting my guard down, I never know when those flare ups will happen.
Roxi – I really hate that this thing is inside me. I just want to get rid of it.
Keira – You know you can’t.
Roxi – I know, but it’s the reason you have to babysit me. I don’t like it.
Keira – I just don’t want you to do anything crazy.
Roxi – I won’t. Or, at least I’ll try.
Keira – Which is why I’ll be there, and in Arizona.
Roxi – It’s still ridiculous.
Keira – You’ve done so much for me, I’m just returning the favor.
{Keira hugs Roxi, as Roxi still looks annoyed.}
Roxi – I just wish it was different.
Keira – You… you don’t want me around?
Roxi – No, it’s not that. It’s I just don’t want to feel like I need a babysitter.
Keira – I like watching over you. It makes me feel good.
Roxi – I like having you by my side too, but with these things in us, it’s not going to be easy.
Keira – … I told you, I didn’t have a choice!
Roxi – Keira, I know why you did what you did, I still don’t agree with it.
Keira – Alright, let’s not argue anymore. Where else should we go for our Team Hero Tour?
Roxi – Well… let’s figure it out.
I meant what I said when I said that I’m more annoyed with this match than anything else. The Mean Girls are running wild, and I feel stuck with this match against Trishelle Jordan. It just makes me feel helpless, and I don’t like that feeling. I just want to get those girls into the ring and beat them like a dusty rug. But instead, it’s Trishelle. I guess it could be worse. I could have not been booked at all. I have to just put aside my disappointment and take this match seriously.
I’m not going to sit here and run down Trishelle, she has been impressive in the few matches I’ve seen her in. I’m not going to underestimate her in any way, she’s got a lot of talent, and a lot of desire. She’s double tough and everything, but this isn’t the match I would have liked. But as I said, I’m not going to look past it. I’m sure Trishelle will come out and give me everything she’s got. I expect nothing less from someone ask skilled as Trishelle, so she’s not going to surprise me. I know full well I’m going to have my hands full, but I can’t let Trishelle take one from me while there’s still so much for me to do when it comes to the Mean Girls.
*Sigh* Okay I’ve got to calm down. I’m just letting them get to me. I really am looking forward to this match with Trishelle. I always enjoying wrestling and up and coming wrestlers like her any chance I get. I do enjoy the challenge, and obviously this one will be no different. Trishelle is coming back, fully prepared to get a big win, but as much as I hate to say these kinds of things, I’m just not going to let her. I’m going to beat Trishelle, because I have to be part of a much larger battle, because I know I’m needed.
Goodness, I really need to get the mean girls out of my head. Trishelle, I know that you and I in the same ring will be something that people will be talking about. Perhaps with our combined effort, we can tear the house down, and no one will care that the mean girls failed miserably to take the championships in the matches they have. I’m really excited about this, and I’m looking forward to wrestling you Trishelle. I just can’t help but be dissatisfied with the match itself. It’s nothing against you Trishelle. Nothing at all. I like you, I respect you. I have nothing but respect for you, and I believe that you could be one of the top bombshells in the future.
But in 8 days, you have to face me, and while you are good, I know what lays ahead for me, and I’m not going to let this match distract me from the bigger war. Trishelle, good luck to you, I look forward to testing myself against you in the ring, and when the match is over I’ll still respect and like you, and I know you’ll give me a great match, and I would hope you know, you’re going to get my best, regardless of how I feel right now.
I’ll see you in 8 days Trishelle, but hopefully before that, I’ll have a clearer head, and be more focused on giving you the match you deserve!
